Jason D. Rowley does not like being wrong. He is a writer, startup founder, sometimes landscaper and gardner, and his libraryâ€™s best customer. Jason is heavily involved with the entrepreneurship scene at the University of Chicago, where he studied political science before â€œtaking a breakâ€ (e.g. dropping out, noncommittally) to work with his classmates on his current project, which will debut shortly. Heâ€™s written voluminous, ripsnorting articles for Flyover Geeks (now Tech.li) for over six months and publishes on Tuesdays. Edward Domain and others have described him as â€œobstreperousâ€, a label he wears with not inconsiderable pride. Jason, in spite of these claims, is a pretty nice guy.
